#2 In Belgium there was a museum of WWII paraphernalia run by a Scot amateur historian, who also acted as a tour guide for Battle of the Bulge vets. One day, he had guided one such vet back to the scene of a very small, company vs. company, but very critical battle, where he had fought. They route marched the area for several hours, then parted company.
On his return to the museum, the Scot received a phone call from the Belgian police, to ask his help, as they had found the remains of a German soldier who had died at that same battle.
Amused at the irony, he called the hotel where the US vet was staying, only to be informed that the vet had died late that afternoon of a heart attack.

#4 I heard a similar joke about a British pilot landing at a German airport. Traffic controller was getting snitty and asked if the pilot had ever been to the airport before. The pilot answered, yes, in 1944 but I didn't land.

#5 Oh, and by the way, when I went to Europe in 1987 I had to get a visa to get into France. Crossed the border twice and nobody checked our passports, just flagged us through.

#6 I enjoy bashing the French as much as anyone but this one is lame. Doesn't even produce a grin.

#7 Why, "prince"? Because it sounds more like a common occurence in Frogistan than a joke?

But then again, Frogistan is a joke.
